What i cannot understand is, that all the tournament organizers don't make one cooperation tournament (like with 32 or 64 players and every organizer can send in players according to their ranking and with additional qualifiers) once a year, where the pricepool is really really big and not such a shitworthy 25k (which is nothing compared to the organization / event costs at all [and i don't really get it, fly players in for 100k and ONLY pay out 25k I DONT GET IT, WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY RIGHT THERE]) and they put up like 250k$ pricepool and a whooping 150k for the first place. I'm pretty sure, people would pay (and I would as well) 20$ to watch such a epic one time a year event. But for now, the esports is becoming more "sceny" than ever with the viewership involved getting more thinner to only SC2 players. Such a community can only grow if new "players" get "sucked" into it in the first place, which will never happen with such spread events, which cannot grab the attention of the "whole gaming scene". One more thing about all the PPV things. I think it's the first step to professionalize the scene, but what should be done, is really, WORK TOGETHER (this is fucking fucking fucking uberhard in our modern society, because everyone wants to MAXIMIZE their own profit and so on.), and for example make a payment system or plan which encorporates different major leagues like ESL, MLG, IPL and maybe GSL. So at least for major events, one could use a unified payment scheme. Of course this would need a major change in planning of big events and cooperation in the first place, which will likely in my opinion in this "community" state, never happen. (I for one, only pay for GSL and GSTL light on a season base, because the yearly scheme is not worth anything to me and should not to everyone. You get like 5$ rebate, but what if you don't want to watch after the mid of the year, because you suddenly lose interest? Bam you lost the half of the yearly scheme, which is certainly higher than 5$...) At the end, everyone has to decide for themselves how much the service is worth for them. But don't forget, of your 20$, likely 19$ go to some cooperation, while like 1$ is paid out to the actual players, who are the REAL REASON, why such a community can exist sustainingly. As a final statement, i see myself as a regular player, playing his 2-3 hours a day and watching like a 1.5-2.0 hours of average stream per day. This statement is just added, so you can judge after (maybe) reading this, what type of viewer/player I am. | ||

I tend to prefer casters who keep a closer eye on the player scene they represent (i.e. Korea) and while I understand they're both busy individuals with lives outside of casting, I find it very unappealing that half the time they aren't even up to date/correct on happenings within the GSL. True, i feel the same. IMO tasteless didnt play any SC2 since min. 1 year, and knows less progamers than a regular GSL watcher  But this western SC2 universe is ruled by the great 3 dictators, Tastosis and day9. When theres no dictator present at a major event, the crowd revolts! | ||

Exactly why I'm not gonna buy ticket. There's so much sponsor money in esports that there is no need to rip off fans. | ||

Make it 10$ and 5$ for Gold Members. Or 5$ for everybody. It looks awesome though. Sadly no live audience. | ||

You know the reality of sponsor money in e-sports how? Remember, sponsors having their name on a list can be a MULTITUDE of things, ranging from providing video cards to providing posters and print advertising. It doesn't necessarily mean they're just writing checks to MLG. | ||
